there should be a hidden forum for half wits like you. spkr4thedead can be its mod.

i give it maybe a month or 2.


then comes some random "update" and with it will be the

" in order to make the new patch functional, we will be resetting all stats to 0 and all isk to 0. this is needed to balance the game for all the players who didn't get a chance to play during the beta. we thank you for your continued support"


remember:
they said this was the last reset for the BETA. and they have kept their word.
but once the game goes retail and sales are the main focus and not devving, then they will have kept their word legally about that BETA reset and will still reset the stats and isk based on some text buried in the EULA as well as the fact that they no longer are obligated to keep their word on the beta reset because they will have done so and now, being in retail, they don't owe us anything.

how mad are you guys gonna be when it happens?

As some of the other comments have pointed out, the revenue for this game is generated by Aurum sales, without it this game would have no ability to function.

If in fact CCP does a full reset they could potentially cause the game to fail through players leaving and raging on the forums. However, CCP is in a tight spot as how do you deal with new players who never played the beta ( this was stated by a previous comment) coming in when the game goes live? There will be a huge gap between Beta and non-Beta players. In fact there is already a discrepancy between closed and open beta players. Now add the learning curve on top of that and you have a precarious situation that might stunt the growth of this game.

Only time will tell if this game succeeds. Will FPS players want to switch from COD and Battlefield to Dust? How will Dust continue to compete against Planetside 2? Furthermore, when will Dust have a presence on Twitch.tv, an extremely popular video game streaming site that could potentially increase interest in Dust.

I know I have bounced around on this response, however, Dust is in a very interesting position. All I can hope is that new players find this game as addicting as I do, and don't give up when they get ROFL stomped (one last thing, the only reason I was able to survive those first few weeks, was that I came from Demon's Souls and Dark Souls, two soul crushing games that forced you to learn how to deal with intense enemies, as well constantly dying. Both games taught me patience, as well as how to adapt to hard situations. The reason I brought this up, is that not very many video game players would have played these games and learned how to deal with extreme situations).

"CCP get most of their aurum sales from vet players not newbies"

i'm a vet and haven't spent a dime. i know many vets who are the same. most of the vets are smart enough not to spend and good enough not to have to.

judging by how upset the idea gets you guys i can only imagine how they will handle it when the time comes.

my guess is they are gonna give you the old "yeah, whatever kid." and do it anyway.


and you'll all whine about it for a while and then just accept it and continue playing.

thanks for the feedback

When the game comes out of beta and is officially "launched" they will reset sp and isk as well as refunding any aurum we have spent. This game is still in beta after all and its to be expected that they will reset it, we are Beta testing the game not playing it to get ahead when CCP announces the launch.

We will get all the suits and special items we used up as well as any aurum we spent when the launch reset goes through. the most recent reset was meant to be the last Beta reset we still have one more before the game is fully launched.
